Some of our youngest supporters got to be curators for the day at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Many of these Southern California Paleontological Society members helped to collect some samples in the field with the Fossils of L.A. team a few months earlier. This past weekend they got to wash, sort, and identify those samples, using identification resources produced as part of our EPICC digitization efforts.

The youngest members of the Southern California Paleontological Society joined us this weekend for a tour of the collection tailored just for them. We started off with a collections tour, and did our best to answer all the questions these aspiring paleontologists had. After seeing the collection, everyone got to try their hands at screenwashing and sorting fossils recently collected during an SCPS field trip. We’re ready to start hiring!
